Chinese rice wine

Chinese rice wine refers to fermented rice-based wines used in Chinese cooking, with Shaoxing wine being the most common variety, offering a rich, slightly nutty, savoury flavour. It is used in marinades, stir-fries, and braises to add depth and to help tenderise meat. It differs from Japanese sake in flavour and is generally used more as a cooking ingredient than a drinking wine.
